Mercy currently offers tuition assistance to both full-time and part-time coworkers that work at least 32 hours per pay period (or every 2 weeks). Our full-time coworkers are eligible for up to $3000.00 per year and part-time coworkers are eligible for up to $1500.00 per year. Coworkers are able to take advantage of this benefit after 6 months of service. The Student Loan Repayment Assistance program is designed to assist newly hired co-workers who have recentlycompleted an approved course of study in the repayment of student loans. (A student loan is defined as a loan from a lending institution made on behalf of a student to an accreditedinstitution of higher education. Personal loans and loans which cannot be documented as expressly for higher educationunder the terms of this policy are not covered by the Repayment Assistance Program.). The Repayment Assistance Programoffers up to $4,000 per year, up to a maximum of $8,000 over two years, to repay the balance due on student loans at thetime of application.

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any information on any of the St. Louis area hospitals tuition assistance and loan forgiveness. I spoke with an SSM recruiter, and they said they offer $4,200 for full-time employees, and $2,100 for part-time. They did not say what their loan forgiveness program was, but did give me the impression that they have one BJC just changed their program, and you can get $4,500 for full-time, and $2,250 for part-time. You are responsible for paying your costs upfront, and they pay you back thru your paycheck at the end of the semester (so it gets taxed). They also eliminated their loan forgiveness program. Does anyone have any information on Mercy, St. Luke's, SLU, or St. Anthony's, ect.? Thanks!

Hi! I am finishing my pre-reqs for nursing school, just taking 6 credit hours at school and 6 credit hours online. I start a CNA class at MoBap in Missouri next month, and it will be 40 hours a week for 5 weeks. I am taking easier pre-reqs right now, so I am not very worried about that, although I know it may be challenging. After the 5 weeks, I don't know if I should work 36 hours a week full time, or 24 hours a week part time. Next semester I will taking only 13 credit hours; A&P1, Nutrition, and 2 online humanities classes. I am debating on if I could handle the 36 hours a week or not with these classes. It is a little less then most people take, but I also live with my boyfriend, and my relationship needs some time too. After this semester I will take A&P2 over the summer in a 6 week course. This again scares me because it will be Monday-Thursday for 4 hours a day. I think I could work part time during this class, but I will also have the rest of the summer open. I have been told that I can pick up extra shifts almost any time, which I have kept in mind. And I also have earned time off, that I thought maybe I could use through the 6 weeks just to maintain my full time status. Then in the fall, I will start clinicals. I know that most nursing students take 16-18 credit hours, and that is why they are told not to have a job. I will only be doing 12-13 credit hours through all my clinical semesters, taking 3 classes about, and I am wondering if I will be able to possibly work full time then since my course load is left, or if I could work full time, and maintain my immediate family. The reason I am asking is because I owe 13,500 in loans, and have already paid about 5,000 towards my tuition. The hospital where I started working will give 4,500 tuition reimbursement for full time, and 2,250 for part time. They also give out loans with loan forgiveness for 4,500a year if you are full time or part time, and they will match your savings for up to 500 dollars. If I worked full time, the benefits would pay for my school year almost in full. If I worked part time, I would have to pay about 2,000 a year out of pocket. I do not want to gain anymore debt then I already have. I can pay the 2000 out of pocket, but I would rather use it to pay the loans I already have. But, on the other hand, I am very confused on how do-able this can be. Can taking 12-13 credit hours a semester and keeping up with my family work without an incredible amount of stress? I have no children.

The staring pay is 9.58 an HR. That's without a night or weekend option.
